Basilique Notre-Dame de Marienthal

The Basilique Notre-Dame de Marienthal features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses characteristic of Gothic architecture from the 19th century.

Local knight Albert of Haguenau established the first sanctuary at this location around 1250, following his religious experience a decade earlier.

The basilica houses two 15th-century statues, including a Madonna and Child and a Pietà, which serve as central objects of veneration.

The church building maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors through its location near major transportation routes in northeastern France.

Queen consort Marie Leszczyńska contributed valuable gifts to the basilica during the 18th century, enhancing its collection of religious artifacts.
